The smallest and most original village in the region enchants its guests with many stories and legends surrounding the Dienten mountain world. Located at 1,071 metres above sea level, it is home to the highest village centre in the Hochkönig region and is therefore a very special place for anyone who values authenticity, nature and genuine mountain experiences.
